One of the main methane culprits: manure. Per the bill, dairy farmers have to cut methane emissions to 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030. Under a cap-and-trade plan, farmers will receive aid from the $50 million or so raised via polluter fees, which they can then put toward machinery that uses methane to create energy they can in turn sell to electric companies.

I am trying to imagine the device that captures flatulence but not the ... solid outputs. From the ever interesting Small Dead Animals.

They have been pushing the dairy industry out of California for 30 years. Used to have dairies in Cerritos near where Iw as born in LA county as well as cattle areas in South Irvine. They have been gone for years now, as are the orchards and avocado groves. Soon the only crop/agriculture/farming they will be allowing in Cali is Canabus: for it health benefits.
